Having had the great Linn LP 12 ...I tried the "RingMat"...but went back to the origional felt math. For some strange reason...the simple stuff works best on the Linn?
The Linn platter rings like a bell. The felt damps the ringing in just the right way. Other materials are not as effective at this.
Felt gets my vote. Still waiting for a response to the question in the post: where is the best place to buy a new original Linn felt mat (?).

I vote for sticking with the felt mat for the Linn.
